Nissan Micra 1.0 N-sport DiG-T, 2019

This stylish Nissan Micra offers an appealing blend of sporty character, modern technology and everyday practicality. Its lively 1.0-litre DiG-T engine produces 115 bhp and is paired with a six-speed manual gearbox, giving it responsive performance and confident acceleration while still returning an efficient combined 47.9 mpg. With CO2 emissions of 114 g/km, it makes a sensible choice for drivers looking to keep running costs under control without sacrificing enjoyment behind the wheel. The N-Sport-inspired interior combines supportive half-leather seating with a well-equipped cabin designed around convenience. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto allow seamless access to compatible smartphone features, while Bluetooth provides an easy way to stay connected. Cruise control makes longer journeys more relaxed, and air conditioning helps maintain a comfortable environment in every season. Electric windows, electric mirrors and central locking add further day-to-day ease. Parking is made simpler by the useful rear parking camera and parking sensors, providing extra awareness in tighter spaces. Alloy wheels add a smart finishing touch, while traction control provides reassurance in changing road conditions. Having had just two previous keepers, this compact hatchback presents a particularly attractive opportunity for anyone wanting economical motoring with distinctive style, useful technology and an engaging driving experience. It is equally well suited to urban journeys, commuting and longer trips, offering the versatility expected from a modern, well-equipped small car.
